Week 1 Review: GHK-CU

Hair growth and density are the main reasons I’m doing this; clearer skin would just be a bonus.

I’m not convinced the same systemic effects will appear unless something is already off with how your body handles repair at your age. If hair is the priority, applying it directly to the scalp would make more sense than injecting under the skin.

She’s right; the difference between 21 and my age is huge in terms of skin elasticity and natural growth-hormone levels. Still, it probably won’t hurt unless you react badly, so keep sharing what happens.

You could check out AHK-Cu instead; it’s nearly identical except the glycine is swapped for alanine and some people report better results for hair. Not much is known about injecting it, so a topical version might be safer. For typical male-pattern thinning the combo of oral minoxidil and dutasteride works well together by improving blood flow and lowering DHT, though dutasteride can have rough side effects and some choose finasteride to reduce that risk.

Thanks, that’s helpful. I want kids later so I’ll skip those medications. I’ll look into AHK-Cu even though I’m unsure how much difference it will make. I’m already seeing thinning that could turn into noticeable loss in the next several years and have read accounts of younger guys using GHK-Cu to slow it down.

No worries. I just saw another thread where people are sharing recipes for copper-peptide hair serums.

I agree a serum could be the better route here. She knows her stuff.

Thanks, that’s funny. I just end up reading anything that catches my interest even a little. The sterility thread didn’t hold me for long, but I enjoy seeing others dig into it because I’m usually just mixing vials in the kitchen with the dog and a ten-year-old around. Being around horses means you get used to cleaning stalls while eating.
